A Midland man was arrested Saturday after allegedly exposing himself to a 5-year-old girl, according to court documents.

Jesus Valenzuela Amaro, 48, was arrested for a second-degree felony charge of indecency with a child by exposure. He was being held Monday on a $25,000 bond, according to court documents.

Police received a call in the late evening that a child had made an outcry of sexual abuse by a family member. During a forensic interview at the Midland Rape Crisis and Child Advocacy Center, the alleged female victim said that on Friday Amaro had pushed her against a wall, exposed himself to her and ordered a sexual act, according to a police affidavit.

The alleged victim said she screamed and ran into a residence where other family members were. Another family member called the police after the alleged victim was “hysterical” and told her what allegedly happened, according to the affidavit.

The alleged victim described four other similar incidents with Amaro “extending back to when she was 4 years old,” according to the affidavit.

Amaro allegedly denied the charge in a police interview. He said the girl was not a liar but may have seen his genitals in the past when he was urinating, according to the affidavit.

If found guilty of a second-degree felony, Amaro could face up to 20 years in prison.
